2020 Fall Farm Outlook

2020 Logan County Farm Outlook LINCOLN DAILY NEWS October 28, 2020 PAGE 39 It was a conversation similar to the Krueger coffee drinkers that took place among the members of the Alliance. According to Heartland Beef member Betsy Pech it was a first time effort for the Alliance, though she wishes that they had started doing it long before now. Pech explained that the Alliance did two donations this year. With the organization consisting of members from five counties, they spread the donations out to assist as many pantries as possible. The first donation made was paid for by the funds of the Heartland Beef Alliance treasury. The second donation was paid for with funds provided through a grant from the Illinois Beef Association. “It’s my intention to try and continue donating to other food pantries,” said Pech. “Heartland Beef is a five county affiliation, so I want to donate to food pantries in those counties as well. Like other non-profit organizations, our fund-raising has been cut- off this year, so, not sure what will happen for future donations.” CONTINUE X
